1. Motor Information Required for Soft Starter Selection

 

Before selecting a soft starter, customers should provide:

  • Motor power (kW)
  • Rated voltage
  • Rated current
  • Frequency
  • Motor starting method

Example:

A 10kV, 1000kW motor requires a medium voltage soft starter solution designed for the specific motor parameters.

2. Load Type and Application Details

 

The same motor power may require different soft starter configurations depending on the load.

Customers should provide:

  • Pump
  • Fan
  • Compressor
  • Conveyor
  • Crusher
  • Mill

The load characteristics affect:

  • Starting torque requirement
  • Acceleration time
  • Starting current limitation

3. Starting Conditions

 

Manufacturers need to understand the operating conditions:

  • Required starting time
  • Starts per hour
  • Load inertia
  • Continuous or intermittent operation

This information helps determine the correct soft starter capacity.

4. Electrical System Requirements

 

Customers should confirm:

  • Voltage level
  • Short circuit capacity
  • Protection requirements
  • Communication protocol

Common communication options include:

  • Modbus
  • Profibus
  • Ethernet communication

5. Installation Requirements

For industrial projects, installation conditions are also important.

Please provide:

  • Indoor or outdoor installation
  • Ambient temperature
  • Protection level requirement
  • Cabinet dimensions
  • Cooling requirements

6. Project Information

For EPC and industrial projects, additional information is recommended:

  • Project location
  • Industry
  • Project stage
  • Required delivery date
  • Technical specification

This helps manufacturers provide a complete proposal.
